Hair care compositions comprising malodor reduction materials

ABSTRACT

The present invention discloses a hair care composition comprising, based on total composition weight, a) a sum total of from about 0.1% to about 2% of a perfume with one or more malodor reduction materials having a wt % from about 0.0001% to about 2% of one or more of said malodor reduction materials; b) from about 0.01% to about 10% of a scalp active material selected from the group consisting of sulfur and mixtures thereof; c) from about 0.1% to about 40% of a surfactant.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such hair care compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Unscented or lightly scented products are desired by consumers as they may be considered more natural and discreet than more highly scented products. Manufacturers of unscented or lightly scented products for controlling malodors rely on malodor reduction ingredients or other technologies (e.g. filters) to reduce malodors. However, effectively controlling malodors, for example, amine-based malodors (e.g. fish and urine), thiol and sulfide-based malodors (e.g. garlic and onion), C₂-C₁₂ carboxylic acid based malodors (e.g. body and pet odor), indole based malodors (e.g. fecal and bad breath), short chain fatty aldehyde based malodors (e.g. grease) and geosmin based malodors (e.g. mold/mildew) may be difficult, and the time required for a product to noticeably reduce malodors may create consumer doubt as to the product's efficacy on malodors. Often times, manufacturers incorporate scented perfumes to help mask these difficult malodors.

Unfortunately, malodor control technologies typically cover up the malodor with a stronger scent and thus interfere with the scent of the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with the malodor control technology. Thus, limited nature of the current malodor control technologies is extremely constraining. Thus what is needed is a broader palette of malodor control technologies so the perfume community can deliver the desired level of character in a greater number of situations/applications. Surprisingly, Applicants recognized that in addition to blocking a malodor's access to a receptor cell, in order to achieve the desired goal, a malodor control technology must leave such receptor cell open to other molecules, for example scent molecules. Thus, hair care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesirable scent and, when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduly altered by the malodor control technology.

Sulfur containing anti-fungal hair and scalp care compositions provide some of the most effective protection from and relief of dandruff conditions. Historically, sulfur and other sulfur-based formulations are highly medicinal and pungent smelling—both in use and throughout the day—due to residual sulfur compounds deposited on the hair and scalp and its interactions with hair and skin. These significant negative cosmetic attributes may cause consumers to avoid sulfur and other sulfur-based formulations and therefore product usage compliance is difficult and as a result consumers often do not find complete relief from their dandruff condition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a hair care composition comprising, based on total composition weight, a) a sum total of from about 0.1% to about 2% of a perfume with one or more malodor reduction materials having a wt % from about 0.0001% to about 2% of one or more of said malodor reduction materials; b) from about 0.01% to about 10% of a scalp active material selected from the group consisting of sulfur and mixtures thereof; c) from about 0.1% to about 40% of a surfactant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions

“Hair Care composition” as defined herein, may include shampoos, conditioners and leave-on-treatments.

“Rinse-off” means the intended product usage includes application to hair followed by rinsing and/or wiping the product from the skin and/or hair within a few seconds to minutes of the application step.

“STnS” refers to sodium trideceth(n) sulfate, wherein n can define the average number of moles of ethoxylate per molecule.

As used herein “MORV” is the calculated malodor reduction value for a subject material. A material's MORV indicates such material's ability to decrease or even eliminate the perception of one or more malodors. For purposes of the present application, a material's MORV is calculated in accordance with method found in the test methods section of the present application.

As used herein, “malodor” refers to compounds generally offensive or unpleasant to most people, such as the complex odors associated with bowel movements.

As used herein, “odor blocking” refers to the ability of a compound to reduce the perception of a malodor.

As used herein, the term “perfume” does not include malodor reduction materials. Thus, the perfume portion of a composition does not include, when determining the perfume's composition, any malodor reduction materials found in the composition as such malodor reduction materials are described herein. In short, if a material has a malodor reduction value “MORV” that is within the range of the MORV recited in the subject claim, such material is a malodor reduction material for purposes of such claim.

As used herein, PRM is the abbreviation form for perfume raw material.

As used herein, the terms “a” and “an” mean “at least one”.

As used herein, the terms “include”, “includes” and “including” are meant to be non-limiting.

Unless otherwise noted, all component or composition levels are in reference to the active portion of that component or composition, and are exclusive of impurities, for example, residual solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially available sources of such components or compositions.

All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise indicated. All percentages and ratios are calculated based on the total composition unless otherwise indicated.

It should be understood that every maximum numerical limitation given throughout this specification includes every lower numerical limitation, as if such lower numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every minimum numerical limitation given throughout this specification will include every higher numerical limitation, as if such higher numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every numerical range given throughout this specification will include every narrower numerical range that falls within such broader numerical range, as if such narrower numerical ranges were all expressly written herein.

Hair Care Compositions

Rinse-off hair care compositions can come in a variety of forms. For example, a hair care composition can be in a liquid form and can be a shampoo, conditioning shampoo,

Hair Care compositions can include perfume materials. Many consumers prefer hair care compositions that can consistently provide a desired scent, or odor that can be perceived each time the product is used. Perfume materials can provide the desired scent or odor to these hair care compositions. These perfume (i.e., fragrance) materials can include perfumes, perfume raw materials, and perfume delivery systems. The present invention may have a sum total of from about 0.1% to about 2% of a perfume with one or more malodor reduction materials; may have a sum total of from about 0.5% to about 1.5% of a perfume with one or more malodor reduction materials; may have a sum total of from about 0.8% to about 1.2% of a perfume with one or more malodor reduction materials; may have a sum total of from about 0.85% to about 1.0% of a perfume with one or more malodor reduction materials.

Malodor Reduction Materials

A non-limiting set of suitable malodor reduction materials are provided in the tables below. In the present invention, the malodor reduction material may be selected from one or more perfume raw materials.

Sulfur

The hair care composition of the present invention may include sulfur. The sulfur which is suitable for use herein can be any form of elemental sulfur. Sulfur exists at room temperatures primarily as rhombic crystals. The two most prevalent ways of obtaining elemental sulfur are: precipitation from hydrogen sulfide, with one route coming from contamination in sour gas, via the Claus process and mining underground deposits using superheated water, known as the Frasch process. Other forms of sulfur, such as monoclinic crystalline sulfur, oligomeric or polymeric sulfur, are the normal primary forms which elemental sulfur assumes at certain higher temperature ranges. At room temperatures, these forms convert, or revert, to rhombic sulfur. The sulfur while being in elemental form may be sulfur which has been physically mixed with protective colloids such as gum arabic, clays, waxes, oils, activated carbon, zeolites, silica or dispersing agents such as surfactants or subjected to processing steps to modify its particle size or other physical property. Sulfur is available commercially in a variety of forms such as pellets, cakes, prills, colloidal, micronized, sublimed, precipitated, and commercial flour.

Sulfur may have a particle size distribution wherein 90% of the particles (D90) of from about 30 micron (μm) to about 250 micron (μm); Sulfur may have a particle size distribution wherein the D90 is from about 30 micron (μm) to about 200 micron (μm); Sulfur may have a particle size distribution wherein the D90 is from about 30 micron (μm) to about 150 micron (μm); Sulfur may have a particle size distribution wherein the D90 is from about 30 micron (μm) to about 100 micron (μm).

A variety of optional ingredients can also be added to hair care compositions. Optional ingredients can include, but are not limited to, structurants, humectants, fatty acids, inorganic salts, and other antimicrobial agents or actives.

A hair care composition can also include hydrophilic structurants such as carbohydrate structurants and gums. Some suitable carbohydrate structurants include raw starch (corn, rice, potato, wheat, and the like) and pregelatinized starch. Some suitable gums include carregeenan and xanthan gum. A hair care composition can include from about 0.1% to about 30%, from about 2% to about 25%, or from about 4% to about 20%, by weight of the hair care composition, of a carbohydrate structurant.

A hair care composition can also include one or more humectants. Examples of such humectants can include polyhydric alcohols. Further, humectants such as glycerin can be included the hair care composition as a result of production or as an additional ingredient. For example, glycerin can be a by-product after saponification of the hair care composition. Including additional humectant can result in a number of benefits such as improvement in hardness of the hair care composition, decreased water activity of the hair care composition, and reduction of a weight loss rate of the hair care composition over time due to water evaporation.

A hair care composition can include inorganic salts. Inorganic salts can help to maintain a particular water content or level of the hair care composition and improve hardness of the hair care composition. The inorganic salts can also help to bind the water in the hair care composition to prevent water loss by evaporation or other means. A hair care composition can optionally include from about 0.01% to about 15%, from about 1% to about 12%, or from about 2.5% to about 10.5%, by weight of the hair care composition, of inorganic salt. Examples of suitable inorganic salts can include magnesium nitrate, trimagnesium phosphate, calcium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium aluminum sulfate, disodium phosphate, sodium polymetaphosphate, sodium magnesium succinate, sodium tripolyphosphate, aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride, aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum-zirconium trichlorohydrate, aluminum-zirconium trichlorohydrate glycine complex, zinc sulfate, ammonium chloride, ammonium phosphate, calcium acetate, calcium nitrate, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, ferric sulfate, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and tetrasodium pyrophosphate.

A hair care composition can include one or more additional antibacterial agents that can serve to further enhance antimicrobial effectiveness of the hair care composition. A hair care composition can include, for example, from about 0.001% to about 2%, from about 0.01% to about 1.5%, or from about 0.1% to about 1%, by weight of the hair care composition, of additional antibacterial agent(s). Examples of suitable antibacterial agents can include carbanilides, triclocarban (also known as trichlorocarbanilide), triclosan, a halogenated diphenylether available as DP-300 from Ciba-Geigy, hexachlorophene, 3,4,5-tribromosalicylanilide, and salts of 2-pyridinethiol-1-oxide, salicylic acid, and other organic acids. Other suitable antibacterial agents are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,488,943.

Zinc-containing layered materials may be those with crystal growth primarily occurring in two dimensions. It is conventional to describe layer structures as not only those in which all the atoms are incorporated in well-defined layers, but also those in which there are ions or molecules between the layers, called gallery ions (A. F. Wells “Structural Inorganic Chemistry” Clarendon Press, 1975). Zinc-containing layered materials (ZLMs) may have zinc incorporated in the layers and/or be components of the gallery ions. The following classes of ZLMs represent relatively common examples of the general category and are not intended to be limiting as to the broader scope of materials which fit this definition.

Many ZLMs occur naturally as minerals. In the present invention, the ZLM may be selected from the group consisting of: hydrozincite (zinc carbonate hydroxide), basic zinc carbonate, aurichalcite (zinc copper carbonate hydroxide), rosasite (copper zinc carbonate hydroxide), and mixtures thereof. Related minerals that are zinc-containing may also be included in the composition. Natural ZLMs can also occur wherein anionic layer species such as clay-type minerals (e.g., phyllosilicates) contain ion-exchanged zinc gallery ions. All of these natural materials can also be obtained synthetically or formed in situ in a composition or during a production process.

Another common class of ZLMs, which are often, but not always, synthetic, is layered double hydroxides. In the present invention, the ZLM may be a layered double hydroxide conforming to the formula [M²⁺ _(1−x)M³⁺ _(x)(OH)₂]^(x+) A^(m−) _(x/m)·nH₂O wherein some or all of the divalent ions (M²⁺) are zinc ions (Crepaldi, E L, Pava, P C, Tronto, J, Valim, J B J. Colloid Interfac. Sci. 2002, 248, 429-42).

Yet another class of ZLMs can be prepared called hydroxy double salts (Morioka, H., Tagaya, H., Karasu, M, Kadokawa, J, Chiba, K Inorg. Chem. 1999, 38, 4211-6). In the present invention, the ZLM may be a hydroxy double salt conforming to the formula [M²⁺ _(1−x)M²⁺ _(1+x)(OH)_(3(1−y))]⁺ A^(n−) _((1=3y)/n)·nH₂O where the two metal ions (M²⁺) may be the same or different. If they are the same and represented by zinc, the formula simplifies to [Zn_(1+x)(OH)₂]^(2x+)2x A⁻·nH₂O. This latter formula represents (where x=0.4) materials such as zinc hydroxychloride and zinc hydroxynitrate. In the present invention, the ZLM may be zinc hydroxychloride and/or zinc hydroxynitrate. These are related to hydrozincite as well wherein a divalent anion replace the monovalent anion. These materials can also be formed in situ in a composition or in or during a production process.

In the present invention, the composition may comprise basic zinc carbonate. Commercially available sources of basic zinc carbonate include Zinc Carbonate Basic (Cater Chemicals: Bensenville, IL, USA), Zinc Carbonate (Shepherd Chemicals: Norwood, OH, USA), Zinc Carbonate (CPS Union Corp.: New York, NY, USA), Zinc Carbonate (Elementis Pigments: Durham, UK), and Zinc Carbonate AC (Bruggemann Chemical: Newtown Square, PA, USA). Basic zinc carbonate, which also may be referred to commercially as “Zinc Carbonate” or “Zinc Carbonate Basic” or “Zinc Hydroxy Carbonate”, is a synthetic version consisting of materials similar to naturally occurring hydrozincite. The idealized stoichiometry is represented by Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ but the actual stoichiometric ratios can vary slightly and other impurities may be incorporated in the crystal lattice.

The present invention may have a zinc-containing layered material and a pyrithione or polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione, wherein the ratio of zinc-containing layered material to pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione is from about 5:100 to about 10:1, or from about 2:10 to about 5:1, or from about 1:2 to about 3:1.

TEST METHODS

Malodor reduction materials may be separated from mixtures, including but not limited to finished products such as consumer products and identified, by analytical methods that include GC-MS and/or NMR.

Test Method for Determining Saturation Vapour Pressure (VP @25C)

The saturation Vapour Pressure (VP) values are computed for each perfume raw material (PRM) in the perfume mixture being tested. The VP of an individual PRM is calculated using the VP Computational Model, version 14.02 (Linux) available from Advanced Chemistry Development Inc. (ACD/Labs) (Toronto, Canada) to provide the VP value at 25° C. expressed in units of torr. The ACD/Labs' Vapor Pressure model is part of the ACD/Labs model suite.

Test Method for Determining the Logarithm of the Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (ClogP)

The value of the log of the Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (logP) is computed for each PRM in the perfume mixture being tested. The ClogP of an individual PRM is calculated using the Consensus logP Computational Model, version 14.02 (Linux) available from Advanced Chemistry Development Inc. (ACD/Labs) (Toronto, Canada) to provide the unitless logP value. The ACD/Labs' Consensus logP Computational Model is part of the ACD/Labs model suite.

Test Method for the Generation of Molecular Descriptors

In order to conduct the calculations involved in the computed-value test methods described herein, the starting information required includes the identity, weight percent, and molar percent of each PRM in the perfume being tested, as a proportion of that perfume, wherein all PRMs in the perfume composition are included in the calculations. Additionally for each of those PRMs, the molecular structure, and the values of various computationally-derived molecular descriptors are also required, as determined in accordance with the Test Method for the Generation of Molecular Descriptors described herein.

For each PRM in a perfume mixture or composition, its molecular structure is used to compute various molecular descriptors. The molecular structure is determined by the graphic molecular structure representations provided by the Chemical Abstract Service (“CAS”), a division of the American Chemical Society, Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A. These molecular structures may be obtained from the CAS Chemical Registry System database by looking up the index name or CAS number of each PRM. For PRMs, which at the time of their testing are not yet listed in the CAS Chemical Registry System database, other databases or information sources may be used to determine their structures. For a PRM which has potentially more than one isomer present, the molecular descriptor computations are conducted using the molecular structure of only one of the isomers, which is selected to represent that PRM. The selection of isomer is determined by the relative amount of extension in the molecular structures of the isomers. Of all the isomers of a given PRM, it is the isomer whose molecular structure that is the most prevalent which is the one that is selected to represent that PRM. The structures for other potential isomers of that PRM are excluded from the computations. The molecular structure of the isomer that is the most prevalent is paired with the concentration of that PRM, where the concentration reflects the presence of all the isomers of that PRM that are present.

A molecule editor or molecular sketching software program, such as ChemDraw (CambridgeSoft/PerkinElmer Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts, U.S.A.), is used to duplicate the 2-dimensional molecular structure representing each PRM. Molecular structures should be represented as neutral species (quaternary nitrogen atoms are allowed) with no disconnected fragments (e.g., single structures with no counter ions). The winMolconn program described below can convert any deprotonated functional groups to the neutral form by adding the appropriate number of hydrogen atoms and will discard the counter ion.

For each PRM, the molecular sketching software is used to generate a file which describes the molecular structure of the PRM. The file(s) describing the molecular structures of the PRMs is subsequently submitted to the computer software program winMolconn, version 1.0.1.3 (Hall Associates Consulting, Quincy, Massachusetts, U.S.A., www.molconn.com), in order to derive various molecular descriptors for each PRM. As such, it is the winMolconn software program which dictates the structure notations and file formats that are acceptable options. These options include either a MACCS SDF formatted file (i.e., a Structure-Data File); or a Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification (i.e., a SMILES string structure line notation) which is commonly used within a simple text file, often with a “.smi” or “.txt” file name extension. The SDF file represents each molecular structure in the format of a multi-line record, while the syntax for a SMILES structure is a single line of text with no white space. A structure name or identifier can be added to the SMILES string by including it on the same line following the SMILES string and separated by a space, e.g.: C1=CC=CC=C₁ benzene.

The winMolconn software program is used to generate numerous molecular descriptors for each PRM, which are then output in a table format. Specific molecular descriptors derived by winMolconn are subsequently used as inputs (i.e., as variable terms in mathematical equations) for a variety of computer model test methods in order to calculate values such as: saturation Vapour Pressure (VP); Boiling Point (BP); logarithm of the Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (logP); Odour Detection Threshold (ODT); Malodour Reduction Value (MORV); and/or Universal Malodour Reduction Value (Universal MORV) for each PRM. The molecular descriptor labels used in the models' test method computations are the same labels reported by the winMolconn program, and their descriptions and definitions can be found listed in the winMolconn documentation. The following is a generic description of how to execute the winMolconn software program and generate the required molecular structure descriptors for each PRM in a composition.

-   -   Computing Molecular Structure Descriptors using winMolconn:         -   1) Assemble the molecular structure for one or more perfume             ingredients in the form of a MACCS Structure-Data File, also             called an SDF file, or as a SMILES file.         -   2) Using version 1.0.1.3 of the winMolconn program, running             on an appropriate computer, compute the full complement of             molecular descriptors that are available from the program,             using the SDF or SMILES file described above as input.             -   a. The output of winMolconn is in the form of an ASCII                 text file, typically space delimited, containing the                 structure identifiers in the first column and respective                 molecular descriptors in the remaining columns for each                 structure in the input file.         -   3) Parse the text file into columns using a spreadsheet             software program or some other appropriate technique. The             molecular descriptor labels are found on the first row of             the resulting table.         -   4) Find and extract the descriptor columns, identified by             the molecular descriptor label, corresponding to the inputs             required for each model.             -   a. Note that the winMolconn molecular descriptor labels                 are case-sensitive.

MORV Calculation

-   -   1.) Input Molecular Descriptor values as determined via the         method above into the following equation:

MORV=−0.0035+0.8028×(SHCsatu)+2.1673×(xvp7)−1.3507×(c1C1C3d)+0.61496×(c1C1O2)+0.00403×(idc)−0.23286×(nd2).

This equation relates a material's effectiveness in reducing the malodor 3-mercapto-3-methylhexan-1-ol (thiol based malodors) and in the present invention it is used it as a marker of other sulfur odor compounds like hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol.

-   -   2.) For purpose of the present application, a material's MORV is         the highest MORV value from the above equation.         The purpose of this experimental design is to determine whether         malodor reducing compositions show benefit in reducing the         perception of malodor from sulfur-containing shampoos.

Sensory Test Method

A hair switch is rinsed thoroughly with water (38 C) to thoroughly wet the switch (5-10 seconds). 0.1 g of Test product is added per gram of hair, and lather for 20 seconds. At 20 seconds, water is added and lathering is continued to 30 seconds. The hair switch is assessed for sulfur malodor (SM-1). The hair switch is completely rinsed. The hair switch is assessed for sulfur malodor (SM-2). The hair switch is gently dried of excess water with a towel. The hair switch is blowed dried on high heat setting until completely dry to the touch. The hair switch is immediately assessed for sulfur malodor (SM-3). The hair switch is cooled for 3-5 minutes (until cool to the touch). The hair switch is assessed for sulfur malodor (SM-4). SM-1, SM-2, SM-3 and SM-4 are added together to obtain the total sulfur malodor (TSM) or cumulative sulfur odor.

In the present invention, the sulfur malodor may be assessed or measured on a scale of 0 (no malodor) to 9 (severe malodor). A non-limiting example of a malodor assessment may be as follows: Malodor Assessment Scale 10-point scale with descriptors: 0=None No fragrance/malodour present; 1=Slight I think there is fragrance/malodour present (unsure); 2=Slight to moderate I detect something, but can I recognize it?; 3=Moderate Slight fragrance/malodour present; 4=Moderate to high Moderate fragrance/malodour present; 5=High; 6=High to Very High; 7=Very high Strong fragrance/malodour present; 8=Extremely High; 9=Extremely High+Extremely strong fragrance/malodour present.

Method of Preparation

The conditioning compositions of “Ex. 1” through “Ex.3” and “CEx. i as shown above can be prepared by any conventional method well known in the art. They are suitably made by one of the following Methods I or II as shown above.

Method I

Cationic surfactants and high melting point fatty compounds are added to water with agitation, and heated to about 80° C. The mixture is cooled down to about 55° C. and gel matrix is formed. Sulfur or selenium sulfide, and if included, silicones and preservatives, are added to the gel matrix with agitation. Then, and if included, polymers are added with agitation at about 45° C. Then, if included, other components such as perfumes are added with agitation. Then the composition is cooled down to room temperature.

Method II

Cationic surfactants and high melting point fatty compounds are mixed and heated to from about 66° C. to about 85° C. to form an oil phase. Separately, water is heated to from about ° C. to about 48° C. to form an aqueous phase. In Becomix® direct injection rotor-stator homogenizer, the oil phase is injected and it takes 0.2 second or less for the oils phase to reach to a high shear field having an energy density of from 1.0×10⁵ J/m³ to 1.0×10⁷ J/m³ where the aqueous phase is already present. A gel matrix is formed at a temperature of above 50° C. to about 60° C. Silicones, Perfume, Polymer and Preservative, if included, are added to the gel matrix with agitation at temperature below 55° C. and mixed well. Then, selenium sulfide or sulfur, are added to the gel matrix with agitation at temperature below 50° C. and mix well. Finally the composition is cooled down to room temperature.
